1 May 2007 - With Marimekko I merrily I made you

for those of you who haven't heard of Marimekko ('Mary's Dress'), famous Finish textile company, shame on you. URL on my links page, go forth, discover and fall in love.
I've been a fan of these big bold prints for a long time now and in the last five years they've made a big come-back. Go to Helskini, every man, woman and child, and household is covered in it.
I made a pilgrimage to their factory outlet store in the back of beyond, Helsinki, a few years back and picked up some fabulous pieces of fabric and great little off-cuts for a song. They've been sitting patiently in my stack of vintage fabrics for a while, until now.
Now they've been stitched together and made into pillows to adorn my new couch. And i'm very happy with them.
